Photo for the Week – 12 – Clouds

First of all, thanks go to everyone who entered last week’s challenge. I think it has been the challenge so far that has had the most entries. Thank you, everyone, for taking time out and going in the challenge. For this week’s challenge, I thought I would choose the subject of Clouds. To me, clouds make an image. I love images where clouds have drama. Stormy skies are my favourite.

Here is a selection of images I’ve processed where I have either loved the clouds or added clouds in the sky.

A composite image created in Photoshop to add Moon and Moonlight.

Beautiful images, Bren. I must start doing your challenges. They look like fun.
Not sure I have any clouds though for this week. They’re sure aren’t any today as sky is a uniform grey. Perhaps late4 in the week.

Hi Helen… if you have clouds from previous weeks… you can use them. Maybe the title is a bit confusing. Ummmm. Don’t know whether to change the challenge to Topic For The Week.. oh decisions …. I hate them 😀 😀 😀 😀

Thank you for sharing your image.. love the drama in those clouds. Clouds are one of the things I look for. If it is dull, dank and miserable.. I tend to go with Black and White… One thing I must learn to do.. is long exposure. I love the way the clouds seem to go on and on and the softness of them.

Thank you so much, I´m happy you like it 🙂 I´m looking for them all the time too, it´s like an addiction I must say. The sky is so beautiful, and it tells us a lot about the beauty of nature and the world. And I too should make more long exposure photography, it is amazing indeed. But I really need a lighter tripod, since mine is too heavy, so I don´t usually carry it with me.
